Hello Aurora,
EU Girl Geeks is -for the moment- a Brussels gathering. Are you based in Brussels? Then you can use this contact form: http://www.table607.com/contact/ to drop us a message so we let you know when we next meet, or you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook (see website).

I didn´t know about EU girl geeks but I´ve found out about and it’s a great idea, how can we join?

Convincing more women to open a blog is one of my daily battles. Then networks like the EU girl geeks that we created are a good way to promote each other.

Very interesting post.

I´ve realised in Spain is exactly the same: most of the important blogs are writen by men while women are always in second position.

I don´t know how can we change this but posts like this are good for it.

Congratulations for your blog,

Regards,

I can’t say that anyone has ever accused me of not being comfortable voicing my opinion That might be a result of going to an all-girls secondary school, where there were no boys to drown me out. Still, might explain why I enjoy my blogging/tweeting activities. I agree with Lino that we girls do things differently and that’s why we should do them!

A question of time, political will and individual efforts too! Women still tend to accept too easily to take a back seat…

Well actually someone made me notice on the French part of the blog that I got my numbers wrong. Only one quarter of the BP top blogs are written by women, while one third of the Commissioners are women… so it’s even worth than I thought :-/
I’ve updated the post with the correct ratio… obviously I’m better at languages than at mathematics!

Thanks Europasionaria for the blog post and congrats to Lino for being in the top 5.

I was talking gender balance this very morning at Eurocontrol with one of the very few female senior managers there and we were appalled to realise that the ratio at Eurocontrol is of 12 men for 1 women in senior management positions – far behind the Commission!

So there’s still a long way to go… but we’ll get there ultimately, it’s just a question of time and political will.
